I'd expect a tribute of some kind on GSN. She was always good for an off-color quip and could hold her own against the likes of Charles Nelson Reilly. That couldn't have been easy. Promote this thread! | | CRZ

| #3 Posted on 17.9.07 1749.23 Reposted on: 17.9.14 1750.13 | In the wake of CNR's passing, I bought the "Best of Match Game" 4-DVD set, and I thoroughly entertained a dinner party by playing the commentary of Brett Somers through the show's highlights.
Hopefully Brett, Charles, and Gene are making fun of Dumb Dora together somewhere. | Roy.

| #4 Posted on 17.9.07 1802.58 Reposted on: 17.9.14 1803.10 | RIP. I can't get enough Match Game, and her and Charles were so good together. I'm hoping for the appropriate tribute, if only so I can watch a bunch of Match Games this weekend. | OlFuzzyBastard

| #5 Posted on 17.9.07 1925.00 Reposted on: 17.9.14 1925.25 | Brett Somers reminded me of my grandmother - voice, appearance, personality, everything. It amused me when I was a kid and made watching the reruns extremely bittersweet since her passing in 2000. This news therefore makes me sad on a very unique level. | StaggerLee
